The improvements had been a condition of a special permit the Planning Board granted Republic on March 27.

The permit granted the company permission to operate a commercial recycling facility and construct a 16,500-square-foot expansion of an existing warehouse building at 11 Campanelli Drive.

Town Administrator John Healey said town counsel is reviewing an agreement between Republic and the board.

The board needs to approve an agreement before Republic can receive an occupancy permit from the Building Department.

In another matter, Larry Gonet of Professional Landscaping asked selectmen why his offer to maintain the Freetown Memorial Park’s grass for free had been declined.

He said he made the offer more than two months ago, along with a recommendation by Highway Surveyor Charles Macomber. He said he was recently notified that his offer had been rejected.

Selectman Lee Baumgartner told Gonet that three veterans associated with the park told the board that they already have a company maintaining it for free.

“It hasn’t been properly maintained,” Gonet countered. “That place was a mess.”

Baumgartner told Gonet that he could come into a future meeting to discuss the matter.

“That’s the only way to get to the bottom of this,” Baumgartner said.

Gonet said his work schedule makes it difficult for him to make it to meetings. He turned down an offer to be put first on the agenda at the board’s Sept. 8 session, then walked out of the meeting.

At the meeting’s conclusion, Chairwoman Lisa Pacheco had a bucket of water dumped over her for the ALS Association’s “Ice Bucket Challenge.” She challenged Baumgartner, Selectman Paul Sadeck, Police Chief Carlton Abbott and Fire Chief Gary Silvia.
